the moderate that was elected? if you were clear-eyed shouldn't you know that al qaeda would roam freely in and around benghazi? as my friend from pennsylvania pointed out, there were al qaeda flags launches out to protest what they were flying all over benghazi. if you were clear-eyed, were you clear-eyed and they left benghazi because they had attacked? why did for americans die? what was so important that the ambassador stevens coming and he knew there was a security threat in benghazi, and he went there on september 10th and 11th, what was so important for him to go to eastern libya knowing all these threats, knowing they are, and i think that you misspoke earlier when you said you didn't know if any requests that were denied for more security june 7th of the e-mail exchange between ambassadors stevens when he requested for the team or actually in additional team and the reply from john sada unfortunately it cannot support the request. there was a request made for more security, and was denied on june 7th. mada

he did a great job of getting our voters on election day, but he gave over 50 speeches in 2009 about obamacare and never once moved the needle of public opinion on obamacare. he is not merely the salesman of people who already think he is. jon: every time he wanted to give a primetime speech, that didn't seem to have a great effect either. >> yes, he kept thinking that the more cowbell approach everything was the answer. but it's a lame duck and he has to go to the states that voted for mitt romney in the election to have the public put pressure on our senators to back them on an issue that they do not want to back him on. i kind of feel sorry for joe biden. i think he is sincere in all this, but he is out there with a dog of an issue politically. he wants to run in 2016 and he is stuck doing this while hillary clinton is going to cohost 60 minutes with barack obama this sunday. i am sure he is very bitter about that. jon: that is why we have the vice president giving helpful device that if you really want to protect yourself, go buy a shotgun. that way he can work both sides of the

>> reporter: well, you recall that the elections, the battles i should say, richard murdoch and todd akin in indiana and missouri, those two guys were soundly defeated based on their pro-life stances in very inopportune comments they made about rape. the left used that to tremendous effect to diminish their chances but to tie them to the republican party as a whole. in that context it will be very interesting to see what rand paul has to say. he has his eyes set, perhaps, some are speculating on the white house in 2016. he has a bit more of a nuanced approach. he believes in the absolute pro-life position except in those cases of rape an incest. so we'll be watching what he has to say today. very, very closely. martha: doug, thank you very much. for more on the context of this, let's take a look at some of the numbers. bill: yeah, last year's march for life rally was estimated at 400,000 people. more state level restrictions on abortions were passed in 2012 than in any previous year. stats show the rate of abortions has been declining over the last decade. martha: new mexico lawmaker
